Final Thesis Statement

Food is an essential part of life. In the developed world there is an ongoing debate over organic and genetically modified foods. Most of the controversy surrounds genetically modified foods especially with reference to the manner in which they are produced (Bazilian, 2015). The rise in lifestyle diseases means that people can no longer remain ignorant when it comes to the intake of food. It simply means that people have to be vigilant not just about the content of the food they are eating but also about the type of food they are eating (Bazilian, 2015). Organic foods are superior to genetically modified foods in terms of their suitability for human consumption.

Many of the proponents of the consumption of genetically modified foods cite elements such as their durability and pricing as enticing elements. However, they are just shortchanging the quality of food they are eating for a cheaper price (Miller, 2008). It is better to spend a little more on food and get quality food that is nutritious and devoid of artificial chemicals that may harm the human body. Thus, the people who think that genetically modified foods are better than organic foods should definitely have change in opinion. They need to know the actual processes that are involved in the genetic modification of food and the manner in which these processes ultimately affect the human body both in the long term as well as in the short term (Miller, 2008). This shift in point of view will lead to a population base that is more conscious of its eating habits and contents. Such a population is more ideal and better suited to combat lifestyle diseases that are on the rise especially in the developed world.
